Yan Xiao carried the money out of the Treasure Pavilion and walked forward. He passed a secluded alley and turned into the alley. While no one was there to put the money and banknotes into the space, he took ten
Two silver coins went to the vegetable market.
The vegetable market is not just a place but a street, selling all kinds of vegetables. The bag of money Song Zhiyue gave to Yan Xiao looked quite a lot. Yan Xiao took it out and counted it, and it was only one hundred copper coins. Yan Xiao asked around
, Fatty meat costs eleven cents a tael, lean meat costs eight cents a tael, seven taels of fat meat costs seventy-seven cents, and three taels of lean meat costs twenty-four cents, a total of one hundred and one cents.
It was one penny more than what Song Zhiyue gave, so that after buying meat, there would be no money for vegetables. So, Yan Xiao bought five taels of fat meat, and with the remaining money, he bought three catties of cabbage, two catties of lotus root,
One pound of celery and one pound of radish. Seeing that it was already getting late, it would be too late to go back and make breakfast, so I bought another drawer of steamed buns.
On the way back, Yan Xiao went to a drugstore and asked the doctor to check it out for him. He grabbed a large bag of traditional Chinese medicine and pills. He spent seven or eight taels of silver and put the medicine in the vegetable basket and threw it away when no one was around.
in space.
After returning home, Song Zhiyue was sitting in the front hall drinking tea and chatting with the wife of the Liu family next door. There was a girl wearing a pink lotus skirt sitting below Mrs. Liu. She should be the youngest girl of Mrs. Liu.
This year, it’s time to get married, but it’s been so long that I haven’t heard of whose son the marriage was. Mrs. Liu and Song Zhiyue were married to Song Zhiyue before she married Lin Fu.
The relationship is very good, and the two families often visit each other. Mrs. Liu's full name is Jin Yue'er. Her natal family is in the silk business. She married the tea merchant Liu Guishan and they have one son and two daughters. Although Liu Guishan has two concubines, she has two concubines.
Since Jin Yue'er gave birth to a legitimate son for the Liu family, her status in the Liu family is very high.
When she saw Yan Xiao coming back, she felt angry and asked Yan Xiao to go buy groceries. She actually went there for a whole hour. She was almost starving to death at home. But then Mrs. Liu came. Seeing that she hadn't had breakfast yet, she said she wanted to
Invite yourself to go out to eat. In the end, although it was Mrs. Liu who paid for it, Dan always felt that he was missing out on this honor. Now that there are outsiders here, it’s hard for him to get angry. Remembering that the food Yan Xiao cooked yesterday was pretty good, he said
: "Today, Sister Liu and Yu Qing are going to have dinner at home. Please prepare two more dishes."
Yan Xiao nodded to the two of them as if they had met before, and asked: "Mom, don't you need to prepare breakfast?"
"We have already eaten outside, so just prepare lunch and cook some of your favorite dishes."
Yan Xiao nodded and carried the basket to the kitchen.
After Yan Xiao left, Song Zhiyue said to Mrs. Liu: "Sister, you haven't been here for a long time. You don't know that my daughter-in-law is very good at her craftsmanship. You must try it."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu smiled and said yes again and again. The atmosphere at this time was even harmonious. Mrs. Liu looked embarrassed and said: "Sister, I have a question, I wonder if I should ask it?"
Song Zhiyue said: "You and I have been sisters for many years. Is there anything we can't ask? Just ask."
Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter, then looked outside and saw no one, and said, "A few days ago when I was listening to the book, your daughter-in-law jumped into a well, and the situation is very critical. Are you feeling better today?"
When Song Zhiyue heard Mrs. Liu's words, the smile on her face suddenly froze, and she secretly cursed Lin Youwei and Yan Xiao for embarrassing Lin Jiadong. She realized that her reaction was too obvious, and then smiled.
Said: "Hey, it was good yesterday. That girl is usually very restless at work. When she was fetching water, she accidentally fell into the well. It scared me at the time. Fortunately, I found it early. If I had found it,
Later, I will send the white-haired person to the black-haired person." Song Zhiyue burst into tears as she spoke, as if she was really afraid of something happening.
When Mrs. Liu and Liu Yuqing saw it, they quickly comforted her and said, "You are a good person now, so you don't need to be too sad. On the contrary, it is not good for your health. If Xiaoxiao sees it, she will feel guilty."
Yuqing also hurriedly said: "Yes, madam, my sister-in-law is a very lucky person. She is naturally blessed by gods, so she will be fine."
Song Zhiyue wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "I was scared at the time, and now I feel a little frightened when I think about it."
Liu Yuqing said: "Madam, I have recently learned a set of massage techniques. After applying them, you can relieve fatigue, refresh your eyesight, and I have the opportunity today. Why don't I give it to Madam."
Song Zhiyue hesitated a little and said, "That's not good. Yuqing is here to be my guest. If you are a guest, you can still serve me, an old woman."
Mrs. Liu said: "Sister, you are out of touch when you say this. Our friendship has lasted for more than ten years, and you have watched Yuqing grow up from below. She is equivalent to half of your daughter. She gave you the thumbs up and said that it was broken.
That means being filial and respectful to your elders.”
"Since you have said so, I will not be disrespectful and I will try my best to help Yuqing." Song Zhiyue said to Liu Yuqing with a smile.
When Liu Yuqing saw that Song Zhiyue agreed to let her massage her head, she stood up and bowed her knees first, then reached out to Song Zhiyue and started to massage her head.
Song Zhiyue closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed Liu Yuqing's massage. After pressing for a while, Song Zhiyue said: "Oh, Yuqing's hands are really clever. I always felt that this part was dull, and I felt uncomfortable in my heart.
It's very uncomfortable. Now that you press it like this, you feel like the energy is released all of a sudden."
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "I have been feeling uncomfortable in my head and body for a while. I have no appetite for anything, but I don't feel any pain. I saw the doctor and took several medicines but nothing worked. It's still raining and clear.
I found this method from a book, and after she learned it, she massaged it on me, and it just healed my body after a few days of massage."
"In that case, I have benefited from my sister." Song Zhiyue said with a smile.
"This is not because of me, but because of Yuqing's filial piety." Mrs. Liu said. Song Zhiyue also nodded and said, "Yes, this is still the result of Yuqing. If Yuqing hadn't been considerate, we wouldn't have imagined such a blessing."
Liu Yuqing's face turned red when the two ladies said: "Mom, Madam, please stop laughing. If you laugh at me like this, I will never dare to visit Madam again."
Liu Yuqing's shy look made the two ladies laugh. Song Zhiyue suddenly said with a serious face: "Yuqing, do you know that you made a mistake in coming to my place today?"
Madam Liu and Liu Yuqing were surprised when they suddenly heard Song Zhiyue say this. Madam Liu looked at the sister she had called for more than ten years in surprise, not knowing what kind of medicine she bought in the gourd.
Liu Yuqing's smiling face suddenly turned pale. She immediately leaned over to apologize and said, "I don't know what mistake Yuqing made. Please don't be angry, madam."
"Let me ask you, what is the relationship between me and your mother?" Song Zhiyue stood straight and looked at Liu Yuqing with sharp eyes.
Liu Yuqing said calmly: "My wife and mother have been called sisters for more than ten years. Although they are not sisters, the friendship between them is better than that of real sisters."
"In that case, what should you call me?" Song Zhiyue asked without changing her tone.
"Aunt." Liu Yuqing lowered her head and said.
Song Zhiyue then walked over and helped Liu Yuqing up and said, "Yes, that's right. From the moment you came in, you always spoke like a madam. It made me feel awkward, but I never said anything. Look.
When did you know that you called me wrong? You didn't expect that you kept calling me. If I don't tell you now, I'm afraid you will call me madam instead of aunt."
Hearing what Song Zhiyue said, Mrs. Liu's originally a little worried mood calmed down. It turned out that it was because of this that her attitude towards her daughter suddenly became cold.
When Liu Yuqing heard Song Zhiyue's words, her eyes were red, and the tears in her eyes were on the edge, but she still insisted on not falling.
Liu Yuqing swallowed hard and said, "I haven't been to my aunt for a long time. I was afraid that my aunt wouldn't like me, so I called her madam."
Song Zhiyue touched Liu Yuqing's nose lovingly, "You kid, you have been thoughtful and thoughtful since you were a child."
Mrs. Liu hurriedly nodded in agreement: "She has a few brothers and sisters in the family, and she is very considerate. She will think about it for a long time if others say something carelessly."
Song Zhiyue took Liu Yuqing's hand and returned to the position, letting Liu Yuqing sit next to her, holding Liu Yuqing's slender hand, smiling amiably.
"Yuqing has been popular since she was a child. Sister, you have raised a good daughter." This chapter has been completed!
